- Rather than assigning floors and distributing remainders, it is a divisor method: seats are handed out one at a time to whichever state has the largest priority value, computed from its population and a geometric-mean rounding threshold

“The first measure of the "amount of inequality" between two states, which suggests itself, is based on the size of the "congressional district," that is, the result of dividing the population of the state by the number of its representatives.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
